Many Washington, DC multi-family communities are overpaying for water without realizing it. In the District of Columbia, your water bill includes more than just usage. Meter size alone can drive significant fixed monthly costs. If your property has an oversized water meter, you could be paying far more than necessary - every single month. This is especially common in communities that were originally designed for future phases that were never built. The result? A water meter sized for a much larger development than what exists today. What does that mean in real dollars? We have seen properties reduce their monthly meter costs from $5,000 to just $400 by downsizing to the appropriate meter size.

Becht Engineering BT provides a complete start-to-finish solution.
• Water Meter Evaluation
• Right-Sizing Recommendations

Why It Matters

When a developer turns over control of a community to the Association, the clock starts ticking. A transition study is one of the most important steps a Board can take to protect its residents, finances, and long-term assets. These studies identify construction defects and deficiencies, many of which are not visible to the untrained eye. More importantly, there is a limited timeframe to address these issues with the developer. Acting early allows communities to:
- Resolve defects while warranties are still valid
- Hold responsible parties accountable
- Prevent minor issues from becoming costly failures

A comprehensive transition study also includes a Reserve Study, helping your Association properly plan and budget for future capital repairs and replacements. A transition study isn't just an inspection - it's your roadmap to:
- Protect association funds
- Reduce future special assessments
- Ensure long-term building performance
- Fulfill fiduciary responsibilities as a Board

If your community is approaching - or has recently completed - developer turnover, now is the time to act. Partner with Becht to safeguard your community from day one.

Reserve Studies = Financial Clarity

Community Associations - are your financial decisions backed by a current reserve study?

A properly prepared Capital Reserve Study provides a clear, long-term funding plan for capital replacements, helping boards plan for roofs, paving, mechanical systems, and more.

At Becht, our studies are designed to be:
• User-friendly and easy to understand
• Built on industry-standard cost estimating
• Structured with 30-year funding scenarios

Because a reserve study shouldn’t just check a box, it should guide real decisions.
